Building and planting the garden

Aaron and Daddy built and planted
the garden this weekend. Aaron loved
every minute of it! Even if nothing grows
it was worth it to see him get into it so much.

Plus we will just turn it into a big
dirt pit for him to play in... but hopefully we
will get some veggies out of it.

Here are the tools laid out and ready.
Aaron made sure to match his tools
with daddys. He also knows all
of names of the different tools.

Each man to his corner

So excited about the finished product!

Getting our garden ready

Aaron was excited about his
cookie monster watermelon seed
starter kit we bought him from Lowe's

Elmo Live!

Aaron and Daddy are ready to see Elmo and
the gang!

He's ready to see Bert and Ernie

Jackson comes to play

Aaron's best friend from school moved to another
class since he is now potty trained. The boys
missed each other alot so we had him over to
play on Sunday. He lives down the street so
daddy road over on his bike to pick up Jackson.

The boys had a great time and Aaron was very

tired after playing so hard.

Making Homemade Pizza

My mom would make a great homemade pizza
and this was my first attempt. I thought it came
out great!

Of course even though Aaron helped me - he

still didnt want to eat it.

Working in the yard

Aaron loves to help his daddy do
yard work. Of course in a few years
he won't think it is much fun. Pop Pop
bought him some yard gloves a while
back and he wants to wear them everytime
he helps daddy.


He was pouting after he fell
down and ate a mouthful of dirt

Dryer Box fun

Since our dryer went out a few weeks
ago we put the box in Aaron's room and
he has been enjoying it ever since.

Intro to Cloth Diapering...

We (or I really) have decided to diaper
baby #2 in cloth diapers to save money.
I bought 2 to try on Aaron since he is
still not potty trained. These are a
one size fits all diaper... I am suprisingly
really excited about all of this...we'll
see how long it lasts.

Adventures in Potty Training

Aaron has recently started to use the potty-
finally! He is really good about going in the mornings
and at school but so far no poo poos. Here he is
showing off his sticker chart in the bathroom at home!

Lazy Days

Things around the house have been pretty dull
unless you count our refrigator burning up and
having to call the fire department... thats been
about enough excitement for us!

Aaron has been really into super
heros lately. Here he is with Iron Man
which he borrowed from David for the
day. Please take note of his outfit as he likes
to be a super hero everyday-- this is
Super Aaron!



He put this outfit together himself.
And parades around the house yelling
"Super Aaron to the rescue"!

Fort building with Daddy

Gram and Paw Paw gave each of the grandkids
a fort building kit for Christmas and we
tried it out this weekend


Aaron and Daddy had a hard time
deciding where the perfect place
was to set up the fort

Already protecting his fort

Yeah they found the perfect spot

and told me no girls allowed!

Christmas Happening

Here are some pics of Christmas happenings
over the last few days:

All the kids had a blast playing-- Aaron was
so tired each night he went to bed right away.

Meredith sporting her gift from

Aaron- She loved the piglett hat.

The brothers gave Gram the eagle pins that

were stolen from the house a few months ago

And of course the kids would have

more fun picking up the trash than

opening the gifts

Mommy and Aaron sported some

Christmas Pjs

Checking out his stocking

Uncle Jake also spent the day

with us-- we wish Pop Pop could

have been here too

Excited about his gifts

He loved the Buzz Lightyear mom scored at

a garage sale for $1! and a dollar well spent!

Uncle Jake and Aaron play his

new Toy Story Memory Game

Daddy was oh so excited about his steam mop!
